From The Castle to the Hove-l brings together a selection of Nicholas Lezard’s much-admired long-running column for the New Statesman, written between 2017 and 2021. Charting his expulsion from London, an interlude in Scotland, and eventual resettlement in Brighton, these pieces capture with wit and candour the upheavals and absurdities of a peripatetic life.
More than a retrospective, this volume includes new material that reflects on and expands the original columns, offering fresh insights, context, and the occasional morsel of literary gossip. In Lezard’s inimitable style, it becomes less an anthology than a director’s cut – sharp, revealing, and irresistibly entertaining.
Nicholas Lezard is an English journalist and literary critic. Lezard has a weekly column, ‘Down and Out’, in the New Statesman. His book The Nolympics: One Man's Struggle Against Sporting Hysteria was published in 2012 by Penguin Books. Lezard's first volume of memoirs, Bitter Experience Has Taught Me, was published in 2013.
